Leadership in Practice Certificate of Completion

Earning the certificate of completion (non-transcripted, but credentialed as a badge for LinkedIn) requires a set number of hours of leadership development training.  You can follow your own path through the program and participate at your own pace.  Each participant can choose from the qualifying experiences offered or endorsed by the law school to achieve the required hours.

Requirements:

•    JD students are required to complete 21 hours of approved leadership training in the program. 
•    LL.M. students are required to complete 7 hours of training.
•    All students pursuing the certificate must read one book from the approved leadership development           reading list and provide a 1-2 page summary.  
•    Each student will be expected to have two separate individualized coaching sessions with a co-advisor      of FLP to discuss the student’s leadership style, strengths, and development plan.
•    Each student must attend a retreat experience offered by the program.
